New female-led Zelda game announced by Nintendo to surprise of fans
Nintendo surprised fans yesterday by announcing a new chapter in its 40-year-old Zelda saga, one of the Japanese video game titan's biggest franchises. During an event broadcast on the web, the firm said The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom is scheduled for release on the Switch console on 26 September. Eiji Aonuma, producer of the Zelda series, said on a webcast that fans would be able to play as Princess Zelda herself rather than the elf-like warrior Link – a first for an official entry into the game's canon. "This time around Link has vanished and it's up to Princess Zelda to step into the protagonist's role," Aonuma said. Each new chapter of Zelda is eagerly awaited by fans – the franchise has racked up well over 140 million sales since it began in 1986.
Magic and Hallucinations? Considering ChatGPT in eDiscovery
Question: Can you comment on early usage of GPT in eDiscovery platforms? Does the Hallucination factor limit its use in the Enterprise where defensibility is critical? Answer: One vendor announced an early beta use just before LegalWeek and provided a video demo. The vendor did not directly reveal what approach they were using to support question-answering on an e-discovery corpus (such as the Enron corpus they use in the demo). Thus we could not tell whether they were training the model on the eDiscovery corpus directly to create a "private" model or whether they were taking Bing's "search-then-synthesize" approach of using the question to search for documents, then have GPT read the documents and answer the question based on this reading.

Collaborative robot optimization with AI, for safer manufacturing during COVID-19
Artificial intelligence (AI) advancements have enabled collaborative robots (cobots) to precisely execute tasks in dynamically changing workspaces, enabling operations to run more smoothly, efficiently and productively. In addition, cobots are being deployed to lower risk, ease programming and cost-effectively deploy automation to increase worker distancing. Return on investment (ROI) for cobot implementation often is less than one year, according to Universal Robots, a collaborative robot manufacturer. AI-powered cobots can increase production, decrease costs, and shorten cycle times in high-tech manufacturing environments. DeGrasse plans to give video examples of how AI helps collaborative robot efficiency in manufacturing in an Oct. 22 webcast "Leveraging AI to Maximize Collaborative Robot Efficiency."
NVIDIA to Acquire Arm for $40 Billion, Creating World's Premier Computing Company for the Age of AI
NVIDIA and SoftBank Group Corp. (SBG) today announced a definitive agreement under which NVIDIA will acquire Arm Limited from SBG and the SoftBank Vision Fund (together, "SoftBank") in a transaction valued at $40 billion. The transaction is expected to be immediately accretive to NVIDIA's non-GAAP gross margin and non-GAAP earnings per share. The combination brings together NVIDIA's leading AI computing platform with Arm's vast ecosystem to create the premier computing company for the age of artificial intelligence, accelerating innovation while expanding into large, high-growth markets. SoftBank will remain committed to Arm's long-term success through its ownership stake in NVIDIA, expected to be under 10 percent. "AI is the most powerful technology force of our time and has launched a new wave of computing," said Jensen Huang, founder and CEO of NVIDIA.
Neuralink: Elon Musk unveils pig with chip in its brain
Elon Musk has unveiled a pig called Gertrude with a coin-sized computer chip in her brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans to create a working brain-to-machine interface. "It's kind of like a Fitbit in your skull with tiny wires," the billionaire entrepreneur said on a webcast. His start-up Neuralink applied to launch human trials last year. The interface could allow people with neurological conditions to control phones or computers with their mind. Mr Musk argues such chips could eventually be used to help cure conditions such as dementia, Parkinson's disease and spinal cord injuries.
Elon Musk teases 'working Neuralink device' reveal on August 28th
Elon Musk has revealed more details about a promised development update for Neuralink, the brain-computer interface designed to help folks with severe brain injuries. Musk said the company will show a "working Neuralink device" during a live webcast on Friday, August 28th at 3PM PT/6PM ET. Last summer, Neuralink showed off its progress at a detailed launch event. A "sewing machine" robot would plant thread-like electrodes deep in to a human brain, which would connect to a pod worn behind the ear. That could then transmit brain signals over Bluetooth, allowing subjects to control a computer or have their brain activity monitored.
The Role of AIOps in IT Modernization
The almost overnight shift of resources toward remote work has introduced the need for far more flexible, dynamic and seamless end-to-end applications, putting us on a path that requires autonomous capabilities using AIOps – Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations. It’s the topic that the SNIA Cloud Storage Technologies Initiative is going to cover on August 25, 2020 at our live webcast, “IT Modernization with AIOps: The Journey.” Our AI expert, Parviz Peiravi, will provide an overview of concepts and strategies to accelerate the digitalization of critical enterprise IT resources, and help architects rethink what applications and underlying infrastructure are needed to support an agile, seamless data centric environment. This session will specifically address migration from monolithic to microservices, transition to Cloud Native services, and the platform requirements to help accelerate AIOps application delivery within our dynamic hybrid and multi-cloud world. Join this webcast to learn: • Use cases and design patterns: Data Fabrics, Cloud Native and the move from Request Driven to Event Driven • Foundational technologies supporting observability: how to build a more consistent scalable framework for governance and orchestration • The nature of an AI data centric enterprise: data sourcing, ingestion, processing, and distribution This webcast will be live, so please bring your questions. We hope to see you on August 25th. Register today.
Microsoft is building a 'Planetary Computer' to protect biodiversity
"The species of the world are connected with each other. I think that's actually one of the lessons, the real reminders, if you will, of the year 2020, as we all live every day with the issues obviously created by COVID-19," observed Microsoft President Brad Smith, during a video launch Wednesday for the company's latest sustainability push -- an ambitious initiative to support global biodiversity. Smith's remarks, of course, refer to the links tracing the novel coronavirus back to animal origins, a phenomenon that has become far more common as humankind encroaches on forests, wetlands and other habitats. During the modern era, Smith noted, wetlands that purify and store water for thousands of species have been reduced by 87 percent while coral reefs have declined by 50 percent -- data points explored in the United Nations' first global assessment (PDF) of ecosystems and biodiversity published in 2019. An estimated one-quarter of species are threatened with extinction, which could amplify the collapse of other habitats.
